Haunted Halsted Halloween Night Parade

Wanna see some of the best Halloween costumes in the city? Head to Northalsted, where a group of dedicated cosplayers shows off their creations at this annual procession. You'll find drag queens, kids, parents and pets marching in the Halsted Halloween Night Parade, which typically features impressive group costumes and dancers performing all the moves to Michael Jackson's "Thriller." The parade steps off at Halsted and Belmont at 7:30pm and heads north before ending at Halsted and Cornelia at 8pm; stick around afterwards—the awards show commences at Halsted and Brompton at 8:30pm.
